No to the Uganda meeting
5/13/2010
RE : THE MEETING TO DISOWN THE ICC PROSECUTOR:
Several African countries are due to meet in Uganda from 30th. Of May 2010 to 11th. June 2010. According to the Kenya media, the meeting will discus among other issues the reduction of the powers of the ICC Prosecutor and the postponing of the prosecutions of the perpetrators of the Post election violence untill after the 2012 elections. Sudan whose President has already been indicted over the crimes against humanity, is leading other nations in the meeting. It is now certain that either the perpetrators of the post election violence have managed to bribe other African leaders for the support to dismiss the ICC or most of the African leaders fear to follow the Kenyan leaders after the ICC succeeds in Kenya.
Either way it is a big crime to protect the perpetrators. The African countries are contemplating to commit the worst crime by protecting the perpetrators of the post election violence in Kenya. The Kenya Parliament, which represents the Kenyan people said “NO” to a tribunal in Kenya and adopted the ICC for the prosecution of the perpetrators. Kenyans in Kenya and all those in the Diaspora have said in one voice that they want the perpetrators of those killings prosecuted by the International Criminal Court. The meeting due to take place in Uganda will not represent the views and the will of Kenyans, but are out to represent the will and the interest of the perpetrators of the post election violence in 2008 in Kenya.
The entire world should know that All Kenyans in every part of this world, disapprove the intended meeting in Uganda. The African Union which is spearheading that meeting and which has also continued to fail Africans in every nation in the African Continent, should understand that Kenyans are in total support of the ICC prosecutor and hence the prosecution of the perpetrators of the post election violence at the ICC. If those who planned and financed the 2008 killings are not apprehended, the possibilities of killings of a larger magnitude by 2012, will be ruled out. Already the signs of a planned war or chaos have been witnessed through the discovery recently, of thousands of bullets, plane batteries, Army Uniforms, thousands of liters of gas, trucks, Government Land Rovers, Land Rover spare parts and other types of weapons hidden in Narok, Kenya. Those trying to dismiss the ICC failed to act to stop killings in Kenya for the last 14 years. They have also failed to stop the rampant corruption which has caused many deaths of innocent Kenyans and left millions of others in abject poverty.
We cannot wait to see the killings of innocent mothers and children again. We are going to protest against the intended meeting in every corner of this world. We are at an advanced stage to convince our Ugandan counterparts to demonstrate on the streets of Kampala and other cities in solidarity with the Kenyan people. Here in USA we will do all we can to communicate to all Kenyans abroad to come out in one voice of condemnation of the intended meeting and to support the ICC. We will also woe the support of different organizations in the entire world. All Kenyans everywhere in the world should come out to challenge that meeting. Let us all in one voice say “NO” to the meeting and “YES” to the International Criminal Court and Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo.
